This study aims to investigate the effect of sorghum meal-based concentrate on milk yield, milk composition, and cheese weight at early lactation of West African Dwarf Goat. A total of Fourteen (14) West African Dwarf (WAD) Goats with initial live weight ranging from 12 to 24kg in their third and fourth parity were divided into two groups; a control group (maize) and a treatment group (Sorghum) four weeks. All data obtained were analyzed using T-test The study findings suggest that sorghum meal-based concentrate can be a useful strategy to improve milk yield and quality at early lactation of West African Dwarf goats, with potential benefits for cheese product
